Hi! This winter a new friend of mine got me back into biking; ended up buying a Trek Electra FX+1S ebike and am loving it! We have already ran much of Boise Idaho's green belt, visited Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls and taken a long range drive to bike in Boulder, NV and Tucson AR this winter!
I found this forum when searching for reviews of my bike; I was blown away by the professional and friendly review I found and feel this is a good place to be.

Later!

welcome to bike ride.com forums @celllman !!! seeing older gentlemen having fun again on E-Bikes brings so much joy, it feels like it really is a cycling renaissance that brings back a lot of retired veterans, we hope you enjoy your stay here and please don't shy away if you want to figure something out, this forum has a bunch of members who are eager to help out

Gday @celllman . Fantastic to have you on here and that you're back on the saddle! And agree I've been on here a while now and have got so much great info.

Enjoy!

Welcome, @celllman. Glad to hear a friend got you back into cycling!

I'm curious how you manage charging on long-distance trips, like your rides to Boulder, NV, or Tucson. Do you ever experience 'range anxiety,' or is it easy to find charging at gas stations and restaurants?

Happy and safe riding..

How's it going so far? What's the plan for the spring? New bike? Go human power, maybe? Let us know.
